Their debut, Just for a Day , was released in September 1991 and placed in the top 10 on the UK Indie Chart. NME gave the record a positive review, but most of the press generally disliked the album as a backlash against shoegazing began. As writer Peter Buckley put it, the album was “dismissed as dreary and lacking in ideas”. Melody Maker writer Paul Lester railed against the debut, calling it a “major fucking letdown”. This backlash worsened when critics reevaluated shoegazing after the release of My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless in November 1991.
